In what will go down as one of the most bizarre matches in footballing history, Chechnya hosted a game between some of the world's greatest players and a side comprising Chechen and Russian players, captained by the Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov.With an 11pm start time, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder Steve McManaman, the ex-Italian defender Franco Baresi, former French goalkeeper Fabien Barthez and the ex-Portuguese player Luis Figo, in addition to Maradona and Fowler, were among those invited to attend. The World Cup-winning French midfielder Zinedine Zidane denied reports he would play.[...]The half-time entertainment – almost as stellar as the footballing legends on the pitch – was provided by R&B performer Craig David.

Wisla Krakow have somehow managed to sign Kuba Błaszczykowski from Wolfsburg and get kicked out of the Polish league for financial irregularities in the same day.
They were taken over by a consortium of gangsters and hooligans a couple of years ago, which went about as well as you would expect, and seemed to have been sold to a Cambodia investor just before Christmas but something has evidently gone wrong with that.
